Hello Crazy Weather!!!

We've had a lot going on...and I wish now I had updated a few times before because I am sure I have forgotten some details...but we'll pick up from Valentine's Day...
We celebrated Isabelle's 1st birthday that night (precious little valentine baby!) and so Par enjoyed being her pseudo-valentine date...really, he just wanted to play with the present we brought her and eat the cupcakes...and then steal her little piano...and thankfully, he didn't seem to be in any pain (you know, down there...from healing and stuff).
Well guys...it seems that my sister is now officially on the market--yes...Sally the debutante has begun the debut process--starting with a mardi gras ball here in Birmingham. It was a lot of fun seeing her presented and all the hoopla that goes along with it--not to mention meeting her close friends (all 22 that she brought home--RIDICULOUS!!!) Sal was beautiful and curtsied just right (although I claim to be the professional curtsier in the family). So...like I said, she's available--please email me a resume, a family tree and your W-2 from the past 2 years if you are interested in courting her. PS- She's great with children!
(oh please!!!! calm down...I am kidding....your most recent W-2 will do just fine) :)
Our little monkey has his first interview with Barnum-Bailey Circus--he has perfected the art of riding his rocking horse while standing.
Of course, everyone knows we had some snow showers here in Birmingham on Sunday--what is so funny is the contrast of Saturday and Sunday...these first pictures were taken on Saturday with Isabelle and Par in our front yard. FYI- Par picked that flower himself and started posing like that--seriously--isn't that precious!?!





And see...same front yard, not 24 hours later...
We loved playing in the snow...although it was not too long...






...and then we got dressed and headed to church--and then afterwards, we took some more pictures.



Par has been fighting an ear infection and a cold on and off since before we left for Gainesville--so hopefully we will be rid of it completely by the end of the week. Rusty has been working super hard (as usual!) and I have been playing with my precious baby and making lots of fattening stuff for him for dinner--and trying my best not to taste test it....yikes...
Tiffany and Violet have caused a raucous in the neighborhood with their barking...we hope it is just a phase with Violet and that they will simmer down ASAP...otherwise we might have to let her go to the circus with Par...not that Tiffany is being an angel... but to be fair...as you can see...we have someone that taunts them on a regular basis!
